What is Flux? | |
- action, dispatch(controller), store(data layer), view(view can pass an action back to the dispatcher) | |
- action creators are like the methods and helpers for the dispatcher | |
- dispatcher makes sure there are no cascading effects or i.e. one action in the store at a time | |
- store is where the logic is done and manipulates state then passes down to child in the view | |
- show a image of a flux diagram | |
- Its a pattern not a framework | |
- maybe examples of common implementations of the pattern (redux) | |
Why Flux? | |
- compare and contrast the MVC model |

**Step One**: Watch [Sorting Algorithms in JavaScript](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRyqlhjXYQI) | |
**Step Two**: Fork this gist. | |
**Step Three**: Respond to this question in your fork: "What are some of the balances and trade offs between different sorting algoritms?" | |
- Insertion | |
- pros are that it is a stable sort and good for small data sets (use if you are sorting on the browser) | |
- cons are that its slow with big data (O(n2) | |
-Bubble | |
- pros are that it is easy to implement and good for small data |

responder 1 this person created variables for each calculation and then calls on that variable in the conditional. This is probably good practice for more complicated nested functions but for this problem I dont think its necessary
responder 2 this person kept it simple and evaluated the parameter using && and or operands, similar to me. They kept it very simple by just returning the evaluated statement and saved a couple of lines

Other than the first time I wrote some JS code that chained several callback functions that each required parameters and | |
I ended up passing in 6 parameters to the initial function, I havent had to pass more then five parameters in ruby. Therefore | |
I dont see the four method argument that challenging yet. So I then must say that the one instance variable per controller action | |
is probably the hardest to follow. I can think of numerous views that need access to different objects and classes. But the one | |
solution mentions (facade pattern) seemed like a easy solution to the one instance variable. |

Ajax is a way to load data on the browser without reloading the page | |

jQuery has $.ajax() method | |
A is for asynchronous | |

jquery also has convenient methods if you dont care about error handling. | |
.get() and .post() |
